Leslie's Chimichurri

I don't know how authentic this version of chimichurri is, but that's okay becuase it's so good! Put this zesty, delicious sauce on anything - toss with roasted potatoes or zucchini, add it to steamed green beans, put it in a sandwich or on grilled meat. It adds a lot of life to any dish.
